The Explosion Unnerved Him. Montgomery, Minn., Aug. 7.—W. H. Miller, formerly owrer of the flouring mill here, now owned by the James Quiry Milling company, when he saw the explosion and the damage done by the explosion, became a raving maniac, and the authorities of the town con- cluded it advisable to have him com- mitted to St. Peter. When he was in- formed that he must again go to St. Peter, be became worse, and tried to commit suicide by cutting the arteries of his arm, but, owing to the dullness of the table knife with which he tried to commit the deed, he only partly suc- ceeded, and his nfe was saved by the early arrival of the doctor.

D. Each will cost $25,000. John Hazel jumped from an Illinois Central passenger train that was run- ning at the rate of forty wiles an hour at Tuscola, Ill, "nd was almost in- stantly killed. He was in custody of an officer. SHOT IN THE HEART. Fatal Row Occurs in A Saloon at St. Peter Minn, St. Peter, Minn., Aug. 12.—This city was disturbed today by one of the most cold-blooded murders which this state has known, and as a result of it one man lies dead and another is in jail. Neither of the men were known here, both being harvest hands who were passing throvgh the country ap- parently in search of work. The two came here together to-day. They re- paired to a saloon where they spent the time drinking beer and playing cards. During the game they quar- reled, and after leaving the card room and entering the saloon proper, the smaller man of the two struck his com- panion a severe blow in the face. The latter did not retaliate, but im- mediately left the saloon, went to one of the hardware stores, bought a re- volver and returned to the saloon by the rear door. The other in the mean- tirae sat down in one of the chairs along the wall. His companion walked into the center of the room and shot six times at the man in the chair. Four of the bullets took effect, one entering the heart, causing death almost in- stantly. The murderer left the saloon, walked a block, sat down and awaited an officer, who arrested him and took him to the jail. He gave up his re- volver and volunteered to accompany the officer. He gave his name as Charles Clark, said his home was at Havana, Ill, and that he was a single man and had no friends in this region. When spoken to concerning the murder he said the fel- low abused him and he didn’t propose to stand it. He said that he hoped his victim was dead. He was consid- erably under the influence of liquor, which, no doubt, was largely responsi- ble for his crime. Clark is thirty-five or forty years of age, and previously in the day claimed to be a very bad man, who would as soon shoot a man as eat. He does not appear to be a tramp, and has morey. The murdered man was about twenty-five or thirty years of age. He carried nothing by which he could be identified, and his companion does not know who he was nor where he came from. SHE'S ON THE POLICE FORCE NOW, Mra. S. V. Root of St. Paul Is Ap- pointed a Special Policeman, St. Paul, Aug. 12.—St. Paul is likely stand at the head of the list of up- te cities. This city will have a female policeman. This new addition to the “blue coats” from the ranks of the gentler sex is Mrs. S. V. Root, the well known superintendent of the Res- cue home. Mrs. Root says that in her rescue work she often finds it difficult to gain admittance to places she con- siders it her duty to enter, and she concluded that if clothed with the powers of a special police officer she could command more recognition in this respect. She accordingly applied f? to Mayor Doran fer appointment as a special police. The mayor was in doubt about his authority to make such an appointment, but on the advice ef the corporation attorney’s oitice he decided to do so. Consequently Mrs. Root will receive a commission, REV. J. C, HULL CASE, A Rumor That Is May Be Settled Out of Court, St. Paul, Aug. 12.—A rumor is cur- rent that there will be no appearance against Rev. J. C. Hull when he is ned in the police court. It is the general belief that an effort is being made to have the case settled out of court. Mrs. Hull, who accused her husband of attempting to poison her, remarked to Dr. Hawkins the day fol- lowing the arrest of ber husband that she would not like to see him punished, although she was anxious that some arrangement should be rade whereby she would be in no danger. Since then Mrs. Hull has engaged the ser- vices of Assenibiyran O. B. Lewis, and that gentleman has visited the Rey. Mr. Hull two or three times in his cell, holding quite lengthy private talks with him. Increased Taxes, Duluth, Aug. 12.—With one or two exceptions the mines of St. Louis coun- ty were represented to-day when the board of equalization met here. The mining men without exception ex- pressed a willingness to pay a fair taxation on their property, and most of them practically admitted that taxes heretofore paid under the 1 cent per ton tax were too low. The board want- ed them to name figures which they would regard as a fair valuation upon which to base the taxation. Winally it was agreed that the mining men should agree to the valuation of the mines for purposes of taxation on a basis of 40 per cent of their actual value. A meeting of the mining men was held and all interested agreed on a basis which was reported to the board. Storm in Minnesota, St. Paul, Aug. 12—A severe wind and rain storm pr vailed at a number of points in Southern and Central Min- nesota last night, and considerable damage was done to crops and small buildings. At Good Thunder the storm did much damage. At Atwater numerous “ wind mills were blown down; also slight damage done to some buildings. The small arount of uncut grain is badly damaged. Several oth- er towns report mere or less damage. Drowaing Accident. Minneapolis, Aug. 12.—A distressing drowning accident occurred yesterday afternoon, Charles Alquist, nine years old, losing his life while fishing in the A mill canal. He had gone with his brother, seven years old, and when the latter returned home late in the after- noon he told his mother that Charles would not be home as he had falien into the water. Thomas Lowry’s New Purchase. St. Paul, Aug. 12.—Thomas Lowry of Minneapolis will in a few days be the sole owner of the Globe building, on the corner of Cedar and Fourth streets. Negotiations have been going on for some time and have now advanced to such a stage that the information ma: be given publicity. The Globe Build- {ng company is stocked for $240,000. Mr. Lowry is the largest stockholder, holding shares to the amount of $70,- 000. There is a mortgage of $125,000 on the building and a floating indebt- : edness of something over $25,000. 'R. R. MONEY POOL| SENSATIONAL ‘TESTIMONY FROM PRESIDENT STICKNEY. He Says His Road, Gre at Western, Was Not a Party Thereto, and He Was “Impor- tuned, Bullied and Threatened” in Order to Get His Road in the Deal—The Pool’s Method of Fix- ing Rates Made Anarchists. the Chicago Chicago, Aug. 9.—The expected ex- plosion before the interstate commerce commission took place this morning, and the top was blown off the railroad pool, uncovering an unlawful combina- tion. The prosecution is now confi- dent that the investigation will end in the imposition of some large-sized fines against most of the Western roads. There has been a strong pres- sure under the apparent smooth sur- face of the present week’s investiga- tion. Yesterday when President A. B. Stickney, of the Chicago Great West- ern, took the stand he created a mild sensation by the disclisure of the methods of his company in outwitting the others in the handling of grain. This morning the cross-examination of Mr. Stickney was up to the expecta- tions. He charged his fellow railroad men with inciting the present investi- gation to catch him in a well laid trap on the charge of rate-cutting. He turned the tables on his opponents and charged them with assailing him be- cause he refused to pool his trade with them. President Stickney substantiated the report of a strong pooling arrange- ment among the roads west of Chicago. He said that he had refused to become a party to it or turn over his surplus traflic for the benefit of the combine, and charged the roads in the pool with instigating the present inquiry for the purpose of proving him guilty of cut- ting rates as a penalty for his refusal to join the association. Chairman Morrison said if there wer ch a con- spiracy he knew nothing of it, but that he very anxious to learn of any such trap and of the details of the pool. Mr. Stickney said that the pool officers had importuned, bullied and threatened him in order to get his road into the deal. He said that the pool’s method of fixing rates made anarchists for the reason that high rates were charged the farmers and low secret cut rates given to the rich grain mer- chants. In his evidence Mr. Stickney grew quite eloquent and his testimony was sensational throughout. He prom- ised to produce every bit of docu- mentary evidence in his possession that would throw light on the pool, but said it would take weeks to collect ission ordered that it be forwarded to Washington. FARM OF MYSTERY. Man and Wife Completely Disap- pear and Leave no Trace. Boise City, Idaho, Aug. 9.—It has been months since Dick Thomas and his wife mysteriously disappeared from their farm on Sinker creek, Owy- hee county, and no trace of them has yet been discovered. They disappeared as completely as though the earth had opened and swallowed them. Whether one or both were murdered and their bodies cached in some iuac- cessible place is as much of a mystery as it was last spring, immediately af- ter the disappearance became known. Instead of clearing the mystery, it has deepened, and a recent attempt at murder on the Thomas ranch has placed another snarl in the already woefully tangled skein. According to a story that reaches Boise City, an attempt was made a few days ago to murder Mrs. Murphy, a sister of Mrs. Thomas, who had been living on the Thomas farm since the disappearance of Thomas and _ his wife. Mrs. Murphy was hanging clothes on the line when some one, concealed in the brush near, threw a rock, striking her in the forehead, in- flicting a frightful gash, and she fell to the ground as though dead. When found some time afterward, she was insensible. The officers of Owyhee have mysteries on the ranch that have but few parallels in the Northwest. EXCITING BANKING. How the Business Is Corried On in Arizona, Nogales, Ariz., Aug. &—Five men made a daring attempt to rob the In- ternational bank but were frustrated by the presence of mind and coolness of Mayor Fred Herrera, cashier of the bank. John Dassart, president of the bank, was leaving the building when three men entered, two of them armed with a pair of Colts revolvers each and the third with a Winchester rifle. One man covered the cashier with two pis- tols and the man with the rifle cov- ered Dessart. The third tried to get into the vault. One man went to the back room where several men were holding a meeting and made all hold up their hands. He attracted the at- tention of the man who had the cash- ier covered and thus furnished an op- portunity for the cashier to get his gup. The robbers immediately the building, mounted horses and rode off, shooting as they went. The cashier fol- lowed them into the street and emptied his gun, and it is believed he shot one of the men, as he was put on a horse by a confederate. President Dessart received a slight scalp wound and a horse in the street was shot. A posse formed quickly and stand a good chance of capturing the robbers, William Wyatt was killed in the Katie Burnet mine at Murray, Idaho, while digging out an unexploded blast. Series of Tragedies. Los Angeles, Aug. 9. — William J. Relland committed the last of a series of three tragedies last night by shoot- ing himself while watching the coroner exhume the body of a babe. Relland had been living with a Mrs. Snyder, who more recently came here from Ca- dotte, Wis., where her husband now lives. Mrs. Snyder died Wednesday as ; a result of a criminal operation said to have been performed by a prominent physician of this city. Relland brood- ed over the woman’s death until his mind became deranged. DOCTORS DISCUSS. Southern Minnesota Medical Asso- ciation Holds Its Annual. Owatonna, Minn., Aug. 9.—The fifth annual meeting of the Southern Min- nesota Medical association was held here to-day. The district covered by the association is that part of the state south of the Twin Cities. Owing to lateness of trains from the east many doctors were prevented from coming, so instead of eighty to a hun- dred expected, only about forty were present, and the programme was somewhat disarranged in consequence. The president, Dr. Charles Hill of Pine Island, delivered a thoughtful address, choosing for a theme “New Therapeu- tic Agents.” A very strong paper was read by Dr. W. C. Eustis of Owatonna in favor of “Asexualization for the Prevention of Crime.” Dr. S. W. Ran- som of Dodge Center led the discus- sion in a well prepared paper in which he strongly opposed the idea. There seemed to be a slight majority against it. D. W. T. Adams of Elgin dis- cussed the “Pathology of Typhoid Fe- ver,” and Dr. W. T. Wilson of Lake City, its treatment. Dr. A. W. Stinch- field of Rochester read a paper on the “Pathology of Rheumatism,” and Dr. A. S. Adams of Rochester discussed its treatment. Other subjects were “Obstruction of the Bowels,” by Dr. W. J. Mayo of Rochester; “Surgical Tuberculosis,” by Dr. R. C. Dugan of Eyota; “Glancoma,” by Dr. C. H. Mayo of Rochester. Doctors Moore of Min- neapolis and Rogers of St. Paul were also in attendance and spoke in dis- eussions. The resident physicians ten- dered an elegant banquet at the Owa- tonna. Dr. N. S. Taft of Plainview was elected president and Dr. H. H. Witherstine of Rochester was re-elect- ed secretary. BA DRUNAWAY. Minneapolis Ladies Injured and One May Die. Minneapolis, Aug. 9.—A horrible ac- cident occurred to-day on Nicolet ave- nue and Fifth street. Mrs. Victor Johnson and Mrs. Bushwhacker, re- siding at 1523 Winter street north- east, were sitting in their buggy in front of the Minneapolis Dry Goods store, just getting ready to start home, when a team belonging to Dr. Little, which was right behind them, without warning made a plunge and landed on top of the buggy. The vehicle was crushed and the two women were be- neath the horses’ feet. The infuriated animals were beyond control and plunged time and again until the bug- gy was made into kindling wood. They then dashed up the street. Both ladies were pulled from beneath the wreck unconscious and bleeding profusely. They were carried to the store of John W. Thomas & Co. and a doctor was sent for. Both ladies were badly lac- erated about the head and arms. They were later removed to their homes. Mrs. Johnson had her collar bone brok- en and sustained a concussion of the brain. Dr. Lewis stated that Mrs. Johnson was yery seriously injured and there was no improvement in her condition. Mrs. Bushwhacker is re- ported as being much improved. Her physician states that her injuries are not serious. Large Apple Crop. St. Paul, Aug. 9.—There will be a large crop of apples this year and they will be cheap. The commercial crop will exceed that of last year from 25 to 50 per cent. The commercial crop is that part which gets into the general market. It does not include the apples consumed locally or those that get no further than the purely local market. These statements are made on the au- thority of Isaac Tuck, publisher of the Fruit Trade Journal of New York, and of Richard C. Barry, of the John Bar- ry & Sons, apple jobbers of Montreal. The two gentlemen were in St. Paul yesterday. They have come from the annual meeting of the National Apple Shippers’ essociation, at Chicago, which was attended by leading jobbers of the country, and where the two gentlemen were able to verify their own estimates by conversations with well informed men from all parts of the country. BLAZE AT TYLER. Implement and Machine Warehouse and Other Buildings Destroyed. Tyler, Minn., Aug. 9. — A. W. Ma- gandy’s large implement and machine warehouse, Peterson & Steffensen’s sash and door factory, Jorgenson Bros’. blacksmith and machine shop and A. A. Evand’s feed mill were all destroyed by fire to-day. There was no insurance on any of the property and the loss is total. Fred Clausen had $117 in cash burned in his trunk. Alieged Burglars. Austin, Minn., Aug. 9.—Sheriff John- son has captured a couple of men who are said to have burglarized the Great Western depot at Taogi, Minn. Their names are given as Thomas Clark and John Fitzsimmons. They claim In- diana as their home. A Cycle Failure. Minneapolis, Aug. 9. — The S. F. Heath Cycle company, insolvent, has filed schedules of assets and liabilities which show debts of $15,386.99 and as- sets of $6,878.74. It owes the Irish- American bank $4,300 for money loaned. Pretty Long Pull. Havre, Aug. 9. — The rowboat Tox, from Naw York on June 6, with the two sailors, Frank Samuelson and George Harbo on board, which was sighted off Sicilly island on Aug. 1, arrived here to-day.

Forest Fires. Stillwater, Minn., Aug. 9. — Severe forest fires are raging near Spring Brook, Wis., and Stillwater loggers fear damage to timber owned by them. Fire at Cando. Cando, Minn., Aug. 9.—At 2 o'clock this morning, during a severe thunder storm, lightning struck the barn of William Hayes. The barn and its contents, including twelve head of work horses, were all burned. Loss, $2,000; no insurance. THE PEST OF TRAMPS. They Masqurade in Minesota as Workmen., St. Paul, Aug. 8.—Secretary Hart, of the state board of charities and cor- rections, was in the city to-day, hav- ing just inspected the jails and work- houses at Austin, Albert Lea and Blue Earth City. He also met the county commissioners of Fillmore county and arranged "with them the changes desired by the board in the new workhouse. Discussing _ the tramp situation in the state, Mr. Hart said: “While the workhouse popula- tion in the Twin Cities has been on the decrease, the State of Minnesota is over-run with tramps. Only a few of the larger cities are taking measures of reprisal against the weary travelers who regularly infest the country, try- ing to live without work, In the smaller towns and villages the au- thorities simply pass them on after al- lowing them to spend the nights in the lock-up. I believe in the plan of district work house for the profession- al tramp or bum. Of course, the au- thorities should discriminate between honest workmen out of employment and seeking it. A work test should be adopted, and all who will not earn what they require for support should be treated as criminals. Wood sawing is as good a method of employment as any. The idea of locking a man up over night, allowing him to sleep in the jail, and feeding him before pass- ing him along on his journey, just suits the bum. That is the kind of a snap he is looking for. At an inspec- tion which I made once of the jail at Granite Valls I found this inscription on the wall, left there by two of the bums locked up over night: “‘We are two bums, two jolly good bums, We live like royal Turks, We have good luck in bumming our chuck, To h— with the man that works.’ “That is the sentiment of all these fellows. At Mankato the authorities have posted notices that if a tramp is caught within the city limits he will be at once put to work on a stone pile, breaking rocks. The result is that the tramps keep clear of that city. In some states, for instance Massachu- setts, the law against tramps is very strict. It means from one to five years in the house of correction, or one to three years in the state work house. Then, too, any officer may arrest a tramp without a warrant, and convic- tion means severe punishment. Only by strict measures and a refusal to feed men who will not earn their liv- ing can Minnesota hope to get rid of the tramp nuisance.” AS HOYT TELLS IT. Trouble of the Clerk of the Fari- bault Postoitice, St. Paul, Minn, Aug. 8. mer Hoyt, a young mar of bault, arrested by Capt. Sheehan ye: terday, was brought before Commis- sioner Tighe to-day for examination on the charge of robbing the postoftice at Faribault! The complaint made out by the district .ttorney relates that Hoyt stole 15,000 2-cent stamps. Hoyt has been in the pestoftice of Faribault for fifteen years, officiating as chief clerk, and A, Ek. Hayen, the postmasier of that city, who is in town to-day, gives him the very best cha pr and reputation until the time of his arrest. Mr. Haven said: “I could not feel the niatter more keenly if Hoyt were my own son; even now I cannot but think that he has been buncoed in some manner as he says he has.” The story told by Hoyt to Postmas- ter Haven is, indeed, & strange one, and, in the vernacular of the police court, is very gauzy. It would not for a moment find credence in tke ears of a sergeant of police. Hoyt was trust- ed to the fullest extent, and practical- ly ran the office. A shortage of stamps appeared and he was asked about it. He replied that Postmaster Luse of Owatonna had called at the ofiice, rep- resented that the Owaterus office was short of stamps and requested the Far- ibault office to help him cut. Hoyt thought he knew Luse, and that the man who called and repregented him- self to be Lusé, was, indeed, that indi- vidual. He gave the pretended Luce 15,000 stamps. Mr. Haven then wrote Luse asking him to return the stamps, and Luse replied that there must be some mistake, as he had had no stamps of the Faribault office. Hoyt was then sent to Owatonna to see if Postmaster Luse was the same man who had called on him in the office at Faribault. He reported to Postmaster Haven that it was not the same man. A man in Owatonna was indicated by Hoyt as the probable ‘“‘bunco” operator and was watched, but without result. The loss was finally reported to the de- partment and Capt. Wood, an inspect- or, reported his investigations to the district attorney, and Hoyt was ar- rested. Hoyt was held to the next term of the grand jury, which meets in Jan- uary. Bail was fixed at $500, which the defendant furnished. Hold Chicago Level. Minneapolis, Aug. 8. — The latest move on the grain rate situation in the Southwestern territory is the re- duction made by the Great Northern road on its lines running into the Southwest. The Great Northern has a line to Sioux Falls which crosses at right angles most of the Chicago lines. The new rates to Chicago have, of course, interfered with traffic all along this line and the road has made a cut equivalent to that made on the other lines. This means that wheat can be brought to Minneepolis over the Great Northern at as favorable rates as if sent to Chicago. As the Great North- ern does not reach much of the dis- puted territory, the cut does not have as much effect on the situation as it might if more competing points were reached. Strange Case, Red Wing, Minn., Aug. 8. — John Fertig, who was convicted of the mur- der of Robert Spaulding at Maiden Rock about four years ago and sen- tenced to life imprisonment at Wau- pun, has instituted proceedings for the trial of the jury that convicted him. The charge is misconduct on the part of the jury. A trial will be held in September in the circuit court at Ells- worth. This is the first time in the history of Wisconsin that one jury has been called upon to try another. | Talk in favor of Hood’s Sarsaparilla as for no! other medicine.
